Keyword → personal invite code → friend follows you and DMs the code → both rewarded. A follower who arrives through a friend already trusts you.
Paid reach is expensive and word of mouth is free, but nobody tracks it. Friend Loops turns it into a loop: a follower types FRIEND, gets a code like FRIE-7K3A, shares it, the friend follows you (that is enforced) and DMs the code, and ViralDM sends the friend their reward and the referrer theirs — a message, a link, or a coupon from Coupons. The loop page shows codes issued, friends joined, rewards given and your top referrers. Add {{refer:FRIEND}} at the end of any automation reply to hand out codes automatically.

Yes — set "friends needed" to 1 to start, raise it later. The referrer is rewarded when the count is reached.
A paused loop stops issuing codes but keeps all its numbers; resume any time.
